When is the best time for the Dawki boat ride to see the transparent water?
The best months for the Dawki boat ride on the Umngot River are from November to February. During the monsoon, rainfall carries soil runoff into the river, making it cloudy. In winter, the lack of rain allows the sediment to settle, leaving the water incredibly transparent and glass-like.
